We have created union territories for multiple reasons

  1. Strategic importance - Andaman & Nicobar islands, Lakshadweep, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh

  2. Political and administrative considerations - NCT Delhi, Chandigarh

  3. Cultural distinctiveness - Puducherry, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu


Currently Jammu and Kashmir, Puducherry and NCT Delhi are the three union territories have legislative assembly
